There’s good news for ya if you missed out on the Popeye’s chicken sandwich thingy the first time around. It’s coming back with a vengeance!
If case you didn’t know, according to Feedbeast, Popeyes has been sending out targeted Instagram ads that say, “The sandwich is coming soon.”
Also, we hear the fast-food chicken chain is reportedly hiring an extra 400 extra workers to prepare for the chicken sandwich’s comeback.
On top of that, we’ve learned that Popeyes is also looking at putting two employees on sandwich duty at a time when the item returns.

Thrillist also did some digging of its own this week and tried to nail down an exact timeframe for when the highly-anticipated sandwich would come back. The outlet called four different Popeyes locations in four cities to see if the employees had any information to share. A Brooklyn location said, “Hopefully this week,” while a Southern California store said, “Probably Wednesday” (today). A Houston shop said, “Sometime next month,” and a Chicago location said, “About two more weeks.”
While Thrillist wasn’t able to pin down a definite date, it was able to identify a timeframe: from as early as Oct. 23 to sometime in November. In the meantime, the fast-food chain is pushing you to download their app, where you can be the first to know about the launch, per Foodbeast.
“We have been working diligently to bring the sandwich back to our restaurants soon as we know our guests are anxiously anticipating its return,” a Popeyes spokesperson told Thrillist. “As soon as we’re ready to announce a date, we will let you know!”
As for the actual date of the sandwich’s return, some reports say it will be back on the menu early next month. Maybe even November.
